A serif typeface with subtly flared, bracketed stroke endings and a calm, steady rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, with gentle modulation rather than sharp contrast, and the serifs taper into the stems instead of forming blunt slabs. Capitals are proportioned and open, with broad curves and clean joins; diagonals (V, W, X) feel sturdy and slightly calligraphic. The lowercase shows compact proportions with a relatively small x-height and clear, rounded bowls; counters remain open and the overall color is solid without looking heavy. Numerals appear oldstyle (text) figures with varying heights and a smooth, traditional flow in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features, where a steady serif texture is beneficial. It also fits brand identities and packaging that want a classic, cultivated feel, and works effectively for headings when set with generous tracking and line spacing.
The tone is literary and composed, evoking traditional book typography and institutional refinement. Its flared detailing adds a hint of hand-drawn warmth, keeping the voice formal but not cold or rigid.
The font appears designed to deliver a dependable, traditional reading experience while adding personality through gently flared, calligraphic serif behavior. It prioritizes an even typographic color and familiar proportions that feel at home in editorial and publishing contexts.
Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, with consistent sidebearings and balanced punctuation presence in the sample text. The design favors clarity through open counters and restrained detailing rather than high-contrast sparkle or extreme sharpness.
